Observations on the European Racing Scene turns the spotlight on the best European races of the day, highlighting well-pedigreed horses early in their careers, horses of note returning to action and young runners that achieved notable results in the sales ring. Monday's Observations features a full-brother to MG1SW Alpha Centauri (Ire) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}).
1.10 Curragh, Mdn, €25,000, 2yo, 6fT
SIMPSON'S PARADOX (IRE) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}) is the 10th foal out of the Niarchos Family's now-legendary Alpha Lupi (Ire) (Rahy), whose prior offerings by this sire are the Group 1-winning distaffers Alpha Centauri (Ire) and Discoveries (Ire). Also responsible for the G1 Coronation S. heroine Alpine Star (Ire) by Sea the Moon (Ger), she has produced only two previous colts and the one who got to the track was Ballydoyle's useful Tenth Star (Ire) (Dansili {GB}) who took the Listed Golden Fleece S. and was second in the G2 Royal Lodge S. Jessie Harrington, who managed and manages the careers of the aforementioned trio of top-level winners, has been handed the responsibility of handling the May-foaled bay who is out surprisingly early.
